The finest I've ever seen was a flintlock pistol owned by my high school English teacher. I do yardwork for him for extra cash (How else do you think I pay for my shooting? XD) I went in to use the bathroom, and he wanted to show me the room he's dedicating to modern art. The room adjacent to it is all classical stuff, Realism, and various curios from around the world. The sort of thing you'd expect from a 19th century English gentleman. Well I picked up this beautiful Flintlock pistol, and asked if it had been in the family long. He told me that his brother had actually built it from a kit, he did a fantastic job of it too, it honestly looked antique. They really are pretty, if I had the time, I'd love to make my own Kentucky Rifle.

That's how I feel about the Mini-14, everyone online says it's terribially inaccurate, it makes you really want to stay away from things. As for the Steyr, it just goes to show how unknown they are. I figured you were talking about something like the AUG, not a handgun XD.

I'm sort of like that. Fortunately, if it isn't similar to, or once was, a military firearm, I really don't have much interest (apart form .22s, and leverguns). I'm sort of a "collector" in that aspect. I really like military firearms, so that helps me cut down on what I'm interested in.

My friends and I got to PA to shoot usually, at this free rifle range (free for hunters, he's a PA hunter, we were guests). It's funny, it stinks you can only keep 3 rounds at a time there, but honestly, seeing people with adjustable stocks only about 40 minutes away.... Granted, I hate adjustable stocks, but still, I don't see how that's considered an evil feature, it just makes shooting more comfortable for some people.

Me too, that's why I can't pick a semi-auto. I keep listening to everyone else, and second guessing myself XD I want a Steyr at some point. They're sooo cool.

Half of those assault rifles were probably .22LR leverguns that held 17 rounds in the tubemag.

Hmm... I actually want to try a flintlock. I actually know how to load one, and prepare it for firing. They're pretty cool, but I never knew anyone still used them! I figured most were relegated to hanging over a fireplace.

That'll cost $599.

I've never seen your steyr. I really like them though. If possible could you put up a pic of it? That's interesting about the failures to eject, I never thought Steyrs would have that sort of trouble.

I'm too young to drink :'(

I think July 4th is a bad day to do it. I mean, I would LOVE to go out on the 4th, but for me that's a family day. Where in NJ are we planning on doing this? Hopefully somewhere in the center. Oh! I can make my special dessert, Blop! It's graham cracker crumbs topped with a layer of cream cheese and sugar, topped with chocolate pudding, topped with whipped cream and a shaved Hersey's bar. It's fantastic!

I'm getting hungry now thinking about it..... And I can't eat until at least 5pm, when I get off work...

I'd be down for that. Hold it at a range in the Center of the state, have BBQ, guns, all the good ol' American stuff we know and love.

Pffttt.... I don't care either way. I don't need to be drunk to do that. XD

At first when I read "STI" I was thinking you meant "Sexually Transmitted Infection." I was going to recommend going to a doctor, rather than asking for advice on the boards.

I'm not a criminal.

I was considering the Air National Guard. I'm a bio major, hoping to go into dentistry, so I'm hoping to get some sort of medic job, or something.

I don't know. I'm scared to do that... I've pretty much grown up being told I'm going to fail XD. But she's crazy with this. She DOESN'T want me taking out any more loans, and refuses to cosign for me. She DOESN'T want me doing the national guard and she WANTS me to go to college. I don't know she expects me to pay for this. I make $7.40 an hour, with no chance of a raise (Business is slow). I really think I might do the guard anyway though.

Thumbed it down, too busy doing chem homework to take the risk of getting sucked into an internet fight at the moment.

I want to do the guard, but mom said she's going to kick me out if I join....

Thanks for the help! all of this will be really helpful. And my mom does feed and shelter me. Why my DAD can claim me, I don't know. $50 per month for child support out of a collective household income of near 200K, don't know why he can claim me. Yeah, we don't put him on any forms. He'll pay $10,000 a year for his STEP-granddaughter's preschool, but he doesn't give me any money for college, and yet goes around saying what a good Christian he is, and how he's going to do mission work in Guadamala. But seriously, thanks a ton for the help guys. I just seem almost too average to qualify for anything Sorry, got a little pissed there. But yeah,

"The guns at the time were FREAKING MUSKETS!" Someone should make a Scumbag Steve meme, with her face with the Scumbag Steve hat, the caption would say, "Tells other people they shouldn't own guns, has her bodyguards carry guns." I love Donald Trump, if for no other reason, than his heat against Rosie. That was fantastic!

I more or less just scrape by. It takes a LONG time for me to save money for anything extra. For instance, I've been saving for a few months for a semi-auto rifle, not buying videogames, or clothes, or anything else. Granted, I usually get $20 for Valentines day, and my Birthday is on the 19th, and I've been selling stuff online, so I tried to plan it for this time of year when I get a good bit of money. I'll have to look into it. Credit cards scare me though, I REALLY don't like owing money....

I'm trying not to leave Rowan with $48K in student loans, but I haven't been able to find any scholarships that apply to me, or any other way to do OK. I can't get pell grants, despite my personal yearly income of $5,300 because my mom and dad alternate (they're divorced) between claiming me on their taxes. Anyway, I don't have a lot of guidance through the system, as to what to do, so I was wondering if my friends here at the NJGF had any ideas. My grades are mostly As and Bs, but I failed precalc, which I'm retaking now. That's how I lost my $4,000 a year scholarship FROM Rowan.
